RUSSIA MUST HOLD BACK.
England, Prussia ana Austria Will OPP

LONDON. June, 15.-Thc Austrian ana
German ambassadors called upon Lord
Salisbury, at the foreign Oi9cc and the
three were closeted together for some
time. The purpose or result of the inter.
view has not been definitely made public,
but the meeting is believed to portcnd the
cohesion Of Germany and Austria with
England in opposing the aggression of
Russia on the frontier Of Afghanistan,
and Englands joint action with Austria
in restraining or thwartlng Russia's III
concealed intention Of occupying Bul
garia. The repeated warnings Of the
English press during tho last few days
have not been necessary to apprise Lord
Salisbury Of the fact that both the Bul,
garian and Afghan questions have assum-
ed phases rendering their immediate
settlement by arbitration, force of arms
or an alliance sufficiently strong to induce
Russia to substitute discretion for
territorial ambition absolutely impera.

The position Of Russia on the Afghan
frontier after two years OF careful, quiet
and unrestricted preparation is much
stronger than that Of England in any
part of the amecr's dominions, and In the
first stages of actual war could not fail 20
result disastrously to English arms, and
firmly establish Russia in possession OF
the most strongly fortified positions in
Afghanistan. II will, therefore. be seen
that an alliance Of sufficient power to awe
the ear in reinquisbing his purpose of
administering the estate of the amecr In
advance Of the latter's demise Is of great
Importance to England, at least until she
can get ready to contest Russia's claim
individually in equal chances OF success
On the other hand, the appointment Of
n pro-Russian ministry in Servia has dc.

for Gcrmany's share in the benefits Of the
alliance, she has everything to gain and
nothing to lose by passiyely interfering
to prevent Russia from precipitating
war in Afghanistan, and lending her In.

An Early Morning Blaze.

AT 1915 A. Nj. to- day an alarm of fire was
sounded from box 81, which is at the Rail
road Hospital, and caused an alarm
throughout the city. Notwithstanding it
was raining quite heavily at the time, hun
dreds of people started for the fire, the
northern heavens. The Fire Department
of alarm to be the burning of a two-story
dwelling on the northeast corner of Eighth
and G streets. The entire building was a
mass of flames when they arrived, and it
was with difficulty they could be put out,
the house burning as though it had been
saturated with camphene. The dwelling
was occupied by S. L. Rose, a brakeman of
the Southern Pacific Company, his wife
and little ones. Mr.. Rose was absent from
the city with his train, and Mrs. Rose and
her little ones were sleeping soundly when
a workman, named Kelly, at the railroad
shops, saw the flames, ran over to the
house, battered in the door,
and rescued the family. The
house was full of smoke, another
moment and every avenue of escape would
have been cut off and the family would
have persisted in the flames. The family
lost everything except a few articles they
grabbed up in their arms as they fled from
the blazing building. Mrs. Rose says she
thinks her husband has partial insurance
on the furniture. The name of the owner
of the building, which is total loss, could
not be ascertaihed. A Leonard & Son are
the agents. The building was worth, per
hans $500
